SENSITIVITY STUDY OF PARAMETERS INFLUENCING CALCULATIONS OF FLUENCE-TO-AMBIENT DOSE-EQUIVALENT CONVERSION COEFFICIENTS FOR NEUTRONS

Fluence-to-ambient dose equivalent conversion coefficients provide the basis for the calibration of area monitors. For neutrons, several data sets have been calculated with the new Q-L relationship. The results of these calculations show differences of up to 30%. Although similar methods were employed in these studies, there are differences in some of the parameters used. The sensitivity of these methods and data shows that most of the discrepancies observed can be explained.
